Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - With Final Innings Dean Sullivan concludes his four-volume documentary history of baseball, whose three earlier volumes have been called 'a broad array of illuminating and often unexpected materials' (Sports Collectors Digest), 'an invaluable reference tool' (Newark Star-Ledger), and a 'fascinating collection' (Washington Post), in which 'ancient myths are shattered and new facts are uncovered' (USA Today Baseball Weekly).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fort Leavenworth, where Roger J. Spiller taught the army's finest for twenty-five years, is indeed a 'school of war.' There, among military professionals who had experienced war firsthand, Spiller honed his remarkable skills as an analyst and historian, scholar and teacher-skills that have made him one of the best-known and respected military historians of our day. This volume brings together Spiller's original and thought-provoking explorations of wars big and small and armies glorified and ignored. For each of these essays-whether on urban warfare or the Vietnam syndrome, battlefield psychology or the making of military history, and underrated vs.overrated generals-Spiller revisits his topic and his thinking, bringing fresh insight and a new context to an incomparable body of work. In the School of War further reveals the complex relationship between past and present in an understanding of the nature of war.
